Welcome to Fair Harbor!

The New Line

We have worked very hard to bring you the highest quality designs and fabric in our new line featured below.

We are extremely excited to launch our Kickstarter campaign for Fair Harbor Clothing. Started by three college students, Fair Harbor Clothing is an eco-friendly, active lifestyle brand inspired by the simple summer life in Fair Harbor, a small beach town on Fire Island, New York. Once we learned how much plastic waste was filling up our environment we felt it was our responsibility to make an effort to clean up our oceans.

We recycle plastic bottles into board shorts to ensure that 11 fewer plastic bottles will end up on the shores of Fair Harbor and other beaches.

Made from 11 recycled plastic bottles, each pair of our board shorts is designed to be stylish and fully functional. With an 8-inch inseam, they're not too long and not too short. Wear them throughout the day and into the night for a laid-back look from beach to bar.

We are inspired to create a product that embodies the serenity of Fair Harbor and fight hard to protect similar beach communities around the US, which is why we’ve partnered with 1% for the Planet. After looking at dozens of different fabric, designs and style samples, as well as a 500-piece test run on family, friends and locals Fire Island residents, we are ready to officially launch the full Fair Harbor Clothing experience.

HERE'S WHERE YOU COME IN:

We're so close to bringing you a new line of awesome Fair Harbor products, including seven new styles of board shorts and five completely redesigned shirts made from 100% organic cotton (see below for more!). Your support will help us launch this new line and keep more plastic waste out of our beautiful environment. Even better--it will help you stay decked out in the newest styles, all while feeling good about your purchase.

What is Fair Harbor anyway?

Fair Harbor is a small town and happily barefoot community on Fire Island in New York. It is the most perfect place. There are clean sandy beaches, no cars on the entire island and the welcoming smell of saltwater fills in the air. Here is a video that we shot earlier this year to show the amazing place where we grew up and that inspired us to start FHC.
